Hi Beverly,
As a scanner, I generally put the flaps and back cover in the book where they
occur. But often, proofreaders move the back flap information, and also
sometimes the back cover information to the front and give them lowercase Roman
numeral pages there. That's okay either way, so long as you make sure there are
page numbers on every page when you're done.
The 20-point title should be on only one page, and that is the title page. If
there is a title on the front flap or cover, it should be in 12-point. Often
there is a page with only the title on it just before the book begins, and that
title also should be small. Only the title page should have the 20-point title.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] cover and jacket-flap text
Who can tell me if there is a standard placement, format, and page-numbering
system for front and back cover text, and for text on jacket-flaps? I’m finding
a lot of variation in the different scans I’m proofing.
For example, in the current scan, back-cover text has been placed at the
beginning, on a page right after front-cover text. The front-cover text, of
course, duplicates the title page. Assume there should be only one 20 point
bold title, and if that appears on the cover page, should the title page be set
to all 12 point? Or should the front cover not be included? What about the
back cover, which has excerpts from reviews (marketing)?
